Sun May 11 05:50:00 UTC 2025: ## GTA 6 Trailer Hints at Shared Universe with Red Dead Redemption
**New York, NY** – A new trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) has fueled speculation that the game shares a universe with Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption series. Eagle-eyed viewers have spotted President Thaddeus Waxman, a character from Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), depicted on dollar bills in a GTA 6 strip club scene. This follows previous connections between the games, such as the presence of books by “J. Marston” (a reference to RDR2’s protagonist) in GTA 5.
While some fans have argued against a shared universe citing discrepancies in the naming of real-world locations, the article suggests that Rockstar Games consistently uses slightly altered versions of real places within both game series, making the timeline overlap plausible. For example, both games feature versions of the Rocky Mountains and the state of Florida.
The discovery adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting a shared timeline, with the GTA 6 trailer offering further proof. The game is slated for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. 85 new screenshots accompanying the trailer offer a detailed look at the game’s Vice City setting.
